    Seppuku is actually a form of ritual suicide in order to restore the offender's honour, it was also used as a form of execution but the beheading is not actually the execution itself, only part of it. The person committing Seppuku uses a short blade traditionally a Tantō to stab and cut open their gut infront of spectators, afterwards a second person called a Kaishakunin is brought to then behead the person in order to not prolong the suffering of a painful death as well as spare the spectators from watching someone slowly and painfully die.

No one is talking about movement, of course the head cannot move without being attached to the body. However consciousness did in fact remain in a severed head for some small amount of time. Same way that heart attack victims are lucid for some small amount of time after their heart has already stopped. Hearing and vision would remain intact, and apparently lucidity as well. To think that it all just shuts off the instant the blade passes through your neck is asinine to be honest. The only thing that turns off consciousness instantly is a an injury that destroys the brain, like a gunshot wound or other traumatic injury to the head.

    Making the blade heavier won't make it fall faster (unless you take friction into account, but then still the difference will matter very little). But it will have more kinetic energy, so it will cut easier through thick necks

  • @kiupokonggan
    @kiupokonggan 4 ปีที่แล้ว +15

    FYI: "Seppuku"(same as Harakiri: both literally meaning "cutting belly") was actually a form of suicide. It's same as the death penalty almost exclusively for samurais. You cut your belly because you done messed up big time.
    And yes there was the decapitation process. But you have to put the sword in your belly first. Then "the assistant" would decapitate you to finish your pain. I am not sure how they developed the routine. But I know this is pretty bizarre.

      I've searched and aparently the person would have brain activity for around 4-7 secconds after the cut, so not much, but yeah, you would definely see yourself getting on the basket, and if you are unlucky enought, you may see yourself beeing shown to the public...

    Let it be clear, guillotine is the best method of execution even today, it's quick and there is no suffering, which is not true for lethal injections or electric chair, methods still used in the US.
    The only barbaric thing is execution itself, which was thankfully banned in most civilised countries except the US. France, Germany, Sweden, Belgium and Switzerland used the guillotine before abolition. It was a highly civilised way of doing a very barbaric thing.

    1. The guillotine was actually the most humane method of execution for it's time.
    2. Sepuku was a form of disembowelment not decapitation.
    3. If you're going to make informational videos at least make sure you're correct ☺️

So... the title about it being one of the "worst" is more just a continuation of an ongoing series about punishments in general.

He hoped that the progress of enlightenment would lead to its abolition. He was horrified when his name was attached to his device.

  • @charlesferdinand422
    @charlesferdinand422 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    A few heads do remain conscious for up to a minute after being guillotined and are even able to react to external stimuli:
    The farthest the cut is from the brain, the most the spine is preserved undamaged, the quickest the cut is made and the cleanest the cut is made, the most likely it will be.
    We know this because there are lots of anecdotal reports but also because EEG readings in beheaded lab mice indicate they can remain conscious for up to almost a full minute and they're mammals and are used for their similarity to humans so we could argue these findings confirm the already-existing and abundant anecdotal evidence.
